Introduction Tutorial

Design:  Complete Overview, Importing, Setup Mode, Animations, Tools, etc...

Code:     Complete Overview, Exporting Code, Integration in Xcode, Techniques etc...

In this first tutorial we will go over all the basics by creating a simple trash can UI element with simple animations.

Each tutorial will come in 2 parts. A video that is designer oriented, for creating the project using Core Animator, and another video that is developer oriented for integrating the Core Animator project successfully into Xcode.

The source files can be downloaded by clicking the image next to the tutorial (i.e. the trash can icon to the right)
